That's a very cynical view. It's an online focused game. If they blew everything straight away, then it'd be popular for two weeks, then dropoff. Here, there will be a smaller dropoff and longevity.

aaaaand that's why they do it this way folks.
Agreed; I'm actually a fan of the way they've drip-fed the content so far.

It's pretty clear they're doling out the content to maintain interest, and to keep the community - or as much of it as possible - engaged until the big August update.

I've destroyed lvl 20's when I was low level, levels really don't mean as much as you think they mean.

It's very weird for me how people lose interest in infinitely replayable games so fast.
But I see it all the time, even with games with more content.
Mario Kart 8 DLC arrives: "FINALLY, a reason to resume playing again."
Not saying they are wacky for that but it boggles my mind.
Maybe I just get jealous of all the cool gear they have ( ._.)
The mario kart battle stage would be great.

There drip feeding content that's on the disc and every one loves it?
This has been on the market 11 days now and you lost interest last week? Wtf? This game just isn't for you, 100 maps on day one wouldn't have made a difference.
Hope you are in the minority.
Moving on, looking forward to the new stage. My dual squelcher will do work on this map.

Not looking forward to this map, all the high ground is grated which is hell for roller and brush users since you've got nowhere to hide. Chargers will finally have a map they aren't totally outclassed though, I suppose.
It lacks even more content and features than evolve, so at least it has that going for it.

Here's a picture of another new map featured in the JP Splatfest trailer. No info on when it's coming though...

Right. It's gonna be like tug of war.
I personally love that the maps are so different and this one looks extreme in that respect. I hope I'm not alone.

This gives me this subtle look and feel of Boarding Action from Halo CE. That's a good thing.
I was level 5 and scored 1400, topping my team by over 600 points with a charger. Admittedly that was after already being level 20 and having my data wiped by my own stupidity, but I like to think the 7 other players (all level 20) in the game were shocked

"NEW" stage
It's possible to have it now maybe, not I can understand why they may hold off.
Currently, since whatever was in Regular Battle goes to Ranked Battle, there would be only 2 combinations for example:
The next turn, they'd just switch them around and it'd be predictable.
Now, with a 7th map thrown into the mix, the 2nd round could be:
And after:
But, if I was Nintendo, i'd rather have only 1 of the maps from Ranked carry over again to Regular, so would wait until we have 8 maps, so the 2nd round could be:
3rd Round:
Just my personal opinion really, but right now, they have a possible 4 maps to choose to go to Regular at each rotation and if they added a 3rd map to each rotation now, they'd still only have 4 maps each time to put into 3 slots, making it kind of predictable that 2 of the maps from Ranked will be in Regular 4 hours later.
With 8 maps, they'd have 5 maps to put into 3 slots, meaning only 1 map from Ranked will have to carry over to Regular, making things fresher.

Why is there german in the JP Splatfest trailer?

I don't know where this shot was taken. Maybe an ingame LED wall. I also don't know if this shot was in the trailer, but the map itself was.
Goodness gracious!
The shot is not from the trailer, it was taken in game. It's from the screens on the sides of the lobby entrance.

I've just twigged something about this map, and given it's Nintendo, I bet it's intentional.

Yay for locked on disc content
The image was actually captured by Weng in the Splatoon OT. Not sure how it popped up in their game (I haven't seen it) but it's definitely a stage we hadn't seen teased or shown in any way before.

The bit in the beginning where Squidgirl is walking up the ramp is from that map though, correct?

Yay for the fact that we aren't being charged for it, therefore warranting a reason not to give it much of a thought besides worrying about the proverbial slippery slope that this may lead to!
Don't forget how we're fully aware of the content upcoming beforehand and isn't being hidden from us or us being straight up lied too.

The sloping design has potential. My Fadenkreuz is ready.

The locked on-disc maps (there's 4 by my count) included at launch could have helped the game's reception. Instead, the reviews' most common complaint is the lack of content (maps and map rotation, namely). That's my problem. I'm already tired of the game - 3 map rotations and nearly double the maps at launch would have done wonders for me, personally.

The game's reception has been fine, both critically and commercially. If drip-feeding content keeps the online community alive, I'm all for it.
